ECMA=European Computer Manufacturer's Assn.
There are 12 member companies, when I worked on/drafted the X/OPEN
text (the green book), my clients comprised 5/12th of ECMA.

Other ECMA-ish entities are SPAG, and ROSE, though these are both I
believe ESPRIT-entities.

Shall we start an informative discussion of the sundry ECMA/ESPRIT-like
entities? I'm sure that there are many of which I am ignorant.
